REDSOCKS(8) System Manager's Manual REDSOCKS(8)NAME
redsocks - rediect any TCP connection to a SOCKS or HTTP proxy
SYNOPSIS
redsocks [options]
DESCRIPTION
redsocks is a daemon running on the local system, that will transparently tunnel any TCP connection via a remote SOCKS4, SOCKS5 or HTTP
proxy server. It uses the system firewall's redirection facility to intercept TCP connections, thus the redirection is system-wide, with
fine-grained control, and does not depend on LD_PRELOAD libraries.
Redsocks supports tunneling TCP connections and UDP packets. It has authentication support for both, SOCKS and HTTP proxies.
Also included is a small DNS server returning answers with the "truncated" flag set for any UDP query, forcing the resolver to use TCP.
OPTIONS -p pidfile
Write the process ID to pidfile.
-c config
Use config as configuration file.
-t Test configuration file syntax.
